Chapter 11

1


 

  Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.  

 

 

--

3


 

  But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered, disgraceth his head.  

 

 

--

5


 

  But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.  

 

 

--

6


 

  For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.  

 

 

--

7


 

  The man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.  

 

 

--

8


 

  For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.  

 

 

--

9


 

  For the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.  

 

 

--

11


 

  But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.  

 

 

--

12


 

  For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God.  

 

 

--

13


 

  You yourselves judge: doth it become a woman, to pray unto God uncovered?  

 

 

--

14


 

  Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?  

 

 

--

15


 

  But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.  

 

 

--

16


 

  But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the church of God.  

 

 

--

17


 

  Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.  

 

 

--

18


 

  For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it.  

 

 

--

19


 

  For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you.  

 

 

--

20


 

  When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper.  

 

 

--

21


 

  For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.  

 

 

--

22


 

  What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God; and put them to shame that have not ? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.  

 

 

--

23


 

  For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread.  

 

 

--

24


 

  And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.  

 

 

--

25


 

  In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.  

 

 

--

26


 

  For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.  

 

 

--

27


 

  Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.  

 

 

--

28


 

  But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice.  

 

 

--

29


 

  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.  

 

 

--

30


 

  Therefore are there many inform and weak among you, and many sleep.  

 

 

--

31


 

  But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.  

 

 

--

32


 

  But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.  

 

 

--

33


 

  Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.  

 

 

--

34


 

  If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.
